Artists And Filmmakers Collaborate At Sacred Craft

For years creative minded surfers have germinated a nexus within surf communities. Think Severson and Griffin, Hoole and McCoy, or Merrick and Slater. In that same tradition Artist Robb Havassy and Korduroy.tv’s Stefan Jeremias and Cyrus Sutton are curating, producing and creating a multimedia extragavanza during the Sacred Craft Consumer Surf Expo in the SURFER’S VILLAGE.COMGROTTO.

Havassy’s voluminous Surf Story Projectis the starting point for an artist’s studio and gallery that promises to be unlike anything ever created. Within this framework resides the Korduroy.tvlounge with short films produced by legion of quality filmmakers.

“The Surfer’s Village Grotto is the perfect venue and environment for the SURF STORY PROJECT and its collaborating artists and surfers. Sacred Craft, like the Surf Story Project, celebrates the artistry and craftsmanship that is engrained in the culture of surfing,” said Havassay. “Both help to perpetuate the stories and legends that are at the core of what it is to be a surfer, stoke and tons of creative energy…that is what ‘SURF STORY’ and Sacred Craft are all about.”

“We are excited to project an eclectic mix of independent surf film material that spans the eras and various approaches in our lounge at Sacred Craft this year – there will be some rare gems for people to check out,” said Jeremias.

In the beginning, it was all about the surfboard. The only thing that mattered. From ancient Polynesia to the ASP World Championship Tour; from Waikiki to Maverick’s; from The Endless Summer to Surfline; as the eras passed what we’ve worn or said or listened to or traveled to or read or watched are just sidebars on surfing’s timeline. Because the history of our sport is the history of the surfboard. Nothing has defined the surfing experience more than that on which we ride the waves. Nothing defines the surfer more than his (or her) surfboard. So much more than a tool, the surfboard has become a philosophical icon, a sacred craft, a culturally pervasive symbol of freedom, adventure and enduring youth.

Korduroy.tv was born from our disillusionment with mass production. From ocean swells to mountains and to their valleys, we live in a gravitational playground of free fun. Yet never before has forking out wads of cash for the “latest and the greatest” been so deeply engrained in our psyche. Its this irony that has inspired us to create a place where ideas can be shared that respect self-sufficiency, craftsmanship, and a surfing experience of our own design.
